So after a great mini meetup last night at Lizard Lounge, and getting the chance to meet the Bar Camp Paris provocateurs, we’ve decided to hold a little planning session to get things figured out for the actual Bar Camp Paris, which should be happening this spring.
Details here and at upcoming.

TorCamp, a.k.a. Bar Camp Toronto, has gotten underway at 460 Richmond St. W. in Toronto, with a good 30 or so participants showing up thus far! They’ve got a Flickr pool up and the tag is TorCamp. Can’t wait to hear how the event unfolds. Great work David!
Meanwhile, turns out that my good buddy Amit, who’s spearheading the Bar Camp NYC effort, is in need of a venue! He’s been huntin’ and searchin’ ever since he got back from his visit to India, but now needs some help from the community at large.
Here’s what he’s looking for: On the island of Manhattan: we’re looking for an office space with wifi and 4-5 rooms, one or two larger than the rest, walls available for projectors, etc., that we can occupy for a weekend.
If you’ve got a place in mind or can at all help with emailin’ or callin’ potential candidate venues, drop Amit a note via barcamp@gmail.com. He was hoping to do this in very early December, so while this’ short notice, surely someone’s got a bit of room that they wouldn’t mind donating for use for some very eager Bar Campers!

Following WikiSym2005 we agreed to convene a wiki BarCamp in Portland Oregon in early 2006 to provide yet another great space for the community to gather for work and play! We’re using OpenSpaceTechnology to create an event that is as open and accessible as possible. We chose the first part of 2006 in order to complement Wikimania2006 (middle of 2006) and WikiSym2006 (end of 2006).
Apparently being organized by Brandon CS Sanders and with help from Eugene Eric Kim, I’m sure this will be a very well organized camp. That and Ward Cunningham, the father of wikis (and my good buddy), will be there. Sounds like this will be a stellar event.
Here I am in all kinds of Skyped glory! Josh and Chris interviewed me prior to my trip to Amsterdam for their Web2.0 show. Totally diggin’ their work — though it’s funny now, since the “Web2.0” term has gotten such a bad rap. Ah well. Check it out anyway!
Katie from Amsterdam has posted the first BCA movie:
OK, so I made another terrible movie, aah, really need some new skills! Anyway, it’s a rather warped view of Barcamp Amsterdam last week condensed into under 2 minutes. It was a lot of fun and a lot better than it looks…

Barcamp NYCAmit Gupta wants to organize a Barcamp NYC. Count me in Amit! I’d be happy to help organize and help get the word out. Anyone else in the New York area want to get in on the action?
